Don Backer, Berkeley professor and director of the Allen Telescope Array, passed away on Sunday, July 25th. Don was a very important contributor to radio astronomy and to the study of pulsars. He will be missed.

There is coming soon a gathering of Warewolves and Prime Hunters. Be sure not to mix the two groups up or you might find yourself surrounded by blood thirsty animals!! ;) However, some might say that the two groups are NOT mutually exclusive. :D Come join us this Full Moon for a sporting "hunt" of Top 5000 primes in the Proth Prime Search (LLR) project. Application builds are available for Mac, Linux, and Windows. For more information, please see this forum thread.

Need a tester who has more than one CUDA device running on a computer. Please follow these instructions. Binary can be downloaded here Extract to a test directory mdrun_openmm.exe -s md.tpr --device 0 See if it runs then mdrun_openmm.exe -s md.tpr --device 1 Please report the standard output.

Some more experimental structures were released in the CASP9 benchmark. The results look very very promising. Head over to the resultpage to check them out. A big THANKS goes out to all you volunteers for making our current participation in CASP9 possible!

The main power cable has been damaged due to construction work around our building. This caused a power outage of several hours. Power has been restored and the servers are now running again. Sorry for the interruption, best regards, Thomas

A small set of workunits was distributed to a handful of volunteers this afternoon, and we'd like to thank you for your computations. Another small job may shortly follow.We're currently in the phase of migration and refactoring. The migration is nearly complete, but there is still much work to be done for refactoring the system. As such, the flow of WUs and jobs will not be continuous until the new system is rolled-out. We greatly appreciate everyone sticking with the project, and the contributions to the current running model, as well as the many models in the past, has helped out our lab immensely. -Tom

Come howl at the moon with us and "hunt" for Top 5000 primes. It's a GREAT opportunity for you to find one for yourself! Who knows, there may even be the rare Fermat number divisor. :) We hope to establish a single day record for finding Top 5000 primes! A 24 hour Challenge (25 July) is being offered on PrimeGrid's Proth Prime Search (LLR) application. Builds are available for Mac, Linux, and Windows. For more information, please see this forum thread.

Looking for testers with ATI cards that support ATI Stream Software Development Kit (SDK) v2.1

We are working on GPU support for GROMACS. We are paying a contractor to implement some changes. This is going to cost us $500 total. I'm planning to contribute $200 out of my pocket and hopeing to get some donations. We will submit these customizations to for BOINC integration to the OpenMM project. If they do not include them, we will make them available somewhere else. http://hydrogenathome.org/donations.php -Jack

Server Down Tonight Due to essentiall electrical work the LHC@HOME server will suffer network inturruptions this evening. The server will remain on but the network links will go down and we hope will come back up! I expect the work to take about 2 hours and happen sometime between 18:00 BST Tuesday to 06:00 BST Wednesday. Sorry about this. Alex

Server Down Tonight Due to essentiall electrical work the LHC@HOME server will be switched off at 17:00 today 2010-05-12 and switched back on at 10:00 tomorrow 2010-05-13. Sorry about this! Alex

A new publication with the title "Distributed computing as a virtual supercomputer: tools to run and manage large-scale BOINC simulations" by GPUGRID scientists and developers Toni Giorgino, Matt Harvey and Gianni De Fabritiis, has been accepted for publication in the journal of Computer Physics Communications (DOI: 10.1016/j.cpc.2010.04.007) pdf. Scientists at GPUGRID have been using RBoinc already for a year and has proved to be a very safe and useful tool to manage work-flows in high-throughput experiments. RBoinc is already in the official BOINC source repository.
